Molecular Diagnostics

Image: Histopathology of dilated cardiomyopathy of unknown etiology in a 58 year female. The histologic findings in dilated cardiomyopathy are usually nonspecific. The image shows myocyte hypertrophy with enlarged hyperchromatic nuclei, mixed with myocyte atrophy and stretching. In addition, there is focal interstitial fibrosis (Photo courtesy of Dr. Dharam Ramnani)

Titin-Truncating Variant Associated With Late-Onset Dilated Cardiomyopathy

Late-onset dilated cardiomyopathy might represent a distinct disease subtype marked by an increased burden of genetic variants, a new study has found. The findings further suggested that genetic testing may be beneficial for older dilated cardiomyopathy patients. More...
